Description of problem: The systemd units created by rbldnsctl use the `.include` directive, which was deprecated in 2014, started generating warnings in 2018 (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/41b283d0f1f4abd85d0bbeeb7f71bb30f87cfab9) and was removed completely in systemd v246 (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/7ade8982ca1969e251a29589ae918c3b5c595afb). Because the .include has no effect on modern version of systemd these units have no installation config and cannot be enabled using systemctl. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'RBLDNSD="- -q"' > /etc/sysconfig/rbldnsd 2. rbldnsctl create 3. systemctl enable rbldnsd-single.service Actual results: systemctl does not enable the service and outputs: The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=, Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: • A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. • A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. • A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). • In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. Expected results: Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/rbldnsd-single.service → /etc/systemd/system/rbldnsd-single.service. Additional info: This package should probably use a template unit (https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/) to support multiple instances, instead of a custom script that manages individual service units.
As you can probably tell, I stopped using rbldnsd myself quite some time ago. I can take a look at it myself but a patch or pull request could speed things up.
The standard way that rbldnsd is configured (in /etc/sysconfig/rbldnsd) provides for having lots of arbitrary arguments being passed to each rbldnsd instance, which doesn't really map well to template units. What I'll do instead is tweak rbldnsctl not to use the ".include" syntax and just pull in the contents of /etc/systemd/rbldnsd.conf when "rbldnsctl create" is run.
